Mere-Sauwia homestay

Mere is a small inland village set in a conservation area on the way up to the volcano. The sea is accessible, although it involves navigating a steep path down to the black sand beach. This is the ultimate homestay for people wanting an authentic local experience. Each guest is assigned a host family and you are very much part of the community.

​There are ten single room bungalows scattered throughout the village, all traditional-style leaf houses constructed of local materials. One has a double mattress on the floor, the others all have one single bed inside (additional mattresses can be added).

Price: 2,500 vatu per person per night, including three meals. A porter to carry your luggage from the boat to the village (should you need help - it's a 45 minute walk) costs 500 vatu each way
